Four-stroke engines have a spout where you add oil to the engine. On two-stroke engines, oil has to be added to the fuel. (Four-stroke and two-stroke are also called four-cycle and two-cycle, respectively).
The terms 4 stroke, and 4 cycle, have the same meaning. There is no difference in the oil.
No. In this case, stroke and cycle means the same thing. So 2-stroke/2-cycle engines should have 2-stroke/2-cycle oil and 4-stroke/4-cycle engines should have 4-stroke/4-cycle oil.

if you have to mix oil with the gas its 2 stroke or cycle and if you have to change the oil its a 4 stroke or cycle
The grade and viscosity of the oil
Yes. A 2 cycle engine is also called a 2 stroke engine.
4 cycle! Automobiles are 4 stroke engines. chain saws snowmobiles and leaf blowers are examples of 2 stroke engines. If engine has an oil pan, or oil filter, it is a 4 stroke. if it does not have an oil pan, it is 2 stroke. Briggs and Stratton are 4 stroke motors.
Absolutely not. Use only 4 cycle oil in a 4 stroke engine. 2 stroke oil is formulated to be mixed with gasoline and will not protect a 4 cycle engine.
the difference is that a kx is a 2 stroke bike and a klx is a four stroke. the difference in strokes is the cylinders and a 2 stroke needs gas mixed with the oil
If it is a 2-stroke engine, 2-cycle engine oil is added to the gasoline. If the engine is 4-stroke, regular 30W motor oil is used. To tell if your engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, look for a spout where oil is poured into the engine. If there is no spout, then the engine is 2-stroke and 2-cycle oil must be added to the gasoline.
Absolutely not. Use only 4 cycle oil in a 4 stroke engine. 2 stroke oil is formulated to be mixed with gasoline and will not protect a 4 cycle engine.
